I did it!!!!

Hi everyone,

I finally cashed in my air miles and ordered
2- 5 day adult PHP passes.

I said goodbye to 6180 miles.

Now we just have to decide when we're going to go and
where we are going to stay.

That's great Tracy. Hoppers are a big part of our budget so it would be nice to have them paid for. Start planning.

Way to go Tracy!

I bought 1, 7day PHP with our Airmiles last month, and might buy another with the points we have left.

You'll earn those points back before you know it.....okay, maybe not that quickly!

I think I may pick up some PH with my Airmiles too ... I'm pretty close to getting a free plane ticket but those can go so quickly. What's the fastest way to earn Airmiles anyway? I have a BMO Airmiles MasterCard which I try to use for almost everything

We seem to collect the majority of our points at the gas station, filling up and getting lots of truck and car washes.

DH often picks up the "bonus point" wines at the LCBO, also. It's a good way to try out some new, featured selections.

I think I am an airmiles fanatic!!

This year I booked 3 of our 4 flights using airmiles. Sometimes you don't have to book that far in advance-you just have to be lucky (and flexible). I booked 3 tickets end Nov. for our Feb. trip. I couldn't get 3 tickets on the weekend so we're leaving Monday instead. (By the way, last year I also had 2 airmiles tickets to MCO!)

To collect faster with your BMO - M/C, make sure you have the plan where you pay an annual $35 fee. This way you get 1 airmile per $20 instead of 1 per $40. And I charged everything to my credit card! I also buy all my gas at Shell, do my groceries at IGA (Sobey's), buy my pharmacy stuff at Jean Coutu...and so on...!! I even have my DH airmiles-aware!!

The airmiles do add up pretty quickly this way!
